Planning a toddler’s birthday party in your own backyard offers the perfect blend of comfort, fun, and flexibility. Whether you’re envisioning a whimsical garden tea party, a colorful carnival celebration, or a simple playdate with family and friends, the right rentals can help you create a safe and stylish environment that makes your little one feel celebrated. At Southern Events, we specialize in toddler birthday party rentals designed to elevate any theme while prioritizing child-sized comfort and big kid fun.

The Importance of Child-Sized Furniture

When hosting a birthday party for toddlers, it’s crucial to think from their perspective—literally. Adult-sized furniture can be intimidating or uncomfortable for young children, especially during a meal or activity. Choose from:

• Children’s Fruitwood Farm Table – A rustic yet refined option for a countryside tea party or woodland-themed birthday.
• Children’s Acrylic Chiavari Chair – Crystal-clear and elegant, perfect for a fairy-tale or winter wonderland theme.
• Gold Bow Chair – Adds a regal touch for princess-themed celebrations or tea parties.
• White Resin Folding Chair – Clean and modern; pairs well with bold linens or colorful decor.
• Cross Back Chair – Perfect for barnyard, garden, or vintage-style parties.
• Chiavari Chairs in Fruitwood, White, and Pink – Choose a color that complements your palette and theme.

Creating a Cohesive Theme with Versatile Rentals

Every toddler has their favorite characters, colors, and activities—and our goal is to bring those favorites to life through rentals that are as adorable as they are practical. Start with a simple foundation like a pop-up tent for shade. These tents come in various sizes and protect guests from the sun or rain, allowing the party to go on no matter the weather.

Next, add decorative and functional accents to elevate the experience. A market cart makes a fun and flexible centerpiece. Use it to display cupcakes, serve lemonade, or create a drop-off zone for gifts. Our white 6-tier serving tower is a favorite for showcasing sweet treats or party favors. While bookshelves in black, white, or gold can be transformed into themed displays for books, plush toys, or goody bags.

Want a showstopper centerpiece? Set up the scalloped Ellie Gold Cake Stand or a sleek glass cake stand for your little one’s birthday cake. These stands photograph beautifully and give your dessert the attention it deserves.

Making Room for Activities

Toddlers love to move, and a safe, stable surface is essential when planning games or activities. Our dance floors are not just for weddings and formal events. Available in colors like black and white, plank wood, and solid black, they create a clean and secure space for toddlers to dance, jump, and play. Dance floors also serve as a great place for group games, sing-alongs, or parachute play.

And because hydration is just as important as playtime, our vintage washtubs are a charming way to keep kid-friendly drinks within easy reach. Stock them with juice boxes or water bottles, and place them near play or dining areas for convenience.

Add a Pop of Personality with Linens and Decor

One of the easiest ways to tie your theme together is through linens. Southern Events offers a variety of fun and festive table linens to suit any party concept. Some fun kid-friendly favorites:

• Black & White Stripe – Perfect for circus or animal themes.
• Mango Tango – Bright and citrusy, great for tropical or summer parties.
• Pink Sequins – A hit for princess, unicorn, or ballerina parties.
• Lagoon Poly – Adds a splash of sea-blue for under-the-sea or mermaid vibes.

Our design team can help you mix and match colors and textures for a cohesive and curated look that brings your toddler’s theme to life.
